The Yankees, who said they

a message on the main video-
board saying, “661 Home Runs.

Rodriguez, who turns 40 in
July, moved into a tie for fourth
in the AL this season with seven
home runs. He didn’t play last
year while serving a drug sus-
pension.
The Yankees and A-Rod
have a marketing agreement
that calls for $6 million each for

the team. But New York has said
the marketing possibilities were
ruined after Rodriguez served
his

in the Biogenesis scandal.

contemplated to be homers 660,

Giants fall to Marlins
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— On a night when he al-
lowed more hits than any San
Francisco pitcher in 47 years,
two stood out to Tim Hudson.
Opposing pitcher Dan Ha-
ren sparked a pair of rallies
with two of Miami’s 15 hits
off Hudson and the Marlins
beat the Giants 7-2 on Thurs-
day night.
“Pretty much the differ-
ence in the game was their
starting pitcher offensively,”
Hudson said. “If I can just get
him out then we have a pretty
good chance to win the ball-
game.
For six innings, Haren (4-
1) did most of the damage
against Hudson (1-3). He hit
a two-run double and scored
later in the second and added
a single and a run scored in

Marcell Ozuna added a two-

“He made a few more mistakes
than he normally does,” manag-
er Bruce Bochy said. “He was a
little off tonight, but again, four
runs going into the seventh. We
just couldn’t do anything offen-
sively.”
Haren allowed two runs
and eight hits in seven innings
to extend his strong start to his
Marlins career after contem-
plating retirement following
his offseason trade from the
Dodgers to Miami.

lost their second straight af-

previous six starts against the
Marlins before allowing the
most hits by a Giants pitcher

Perry gave up 16 on Sept. 28,
1968, against Cincinnati.
“They were swinging the

“That was the most running

Haren said. “I usually have to
go on the bike. I don’t know
if I’ll be walking around San
Francisco tomorrow. I’ll be
taking it easy.”
Hudson also got into the
hitting act with a leadoff sin-
gle in the third that ended an
0-for-49 drought.
